    No full text
    President Ronald Reagan created the Strategic Defense Initiative, known as “Star Wars” to its detractors, in 1983 to protect the United States from a nuclear strike. The program envisioned the use of a space-based defense system to shield the United States from an attack by nuclear missiles. Despite widespread criticism that the imagined technology was unrealistic, SDI became a top priority of the Reagan administration. Central to the progress of the initiative was Dr. George Keyworth, who served for four years as President Reagan’s Science Advisor and was an early and ardent advocate of the program. Shortly after retiring from his position with the White House, Dr. Keyworth sat down with host Peter Krogh to discuss the controversy surrounding SDI, scientific breakthroughs, and the future of science in America’s defense and foreign policies.Dr. George Keyworth, former Scientific Advisor to Ronald Reagan, discusses the controversial Strategic Defense Initiative

    In his songs composed on poems by Stefan George Anton Webern first adopted spelling peculiarities in these texts in the manuscripts prior to publication. Later and particularly in prints the spelling was normalized by Webern or with his agreement. The projected historical-critical edition of early versions and the unpublished songs during Webern’s lifetime within the Anton Webern Gesamtausgabe (Basel) faces specific problems in this context due to the inconsistent and sometimes ambiguous adoption of the characteristics in George’s spelling in the sources. In some cases even deciphering the reading of a single capital or lowercase letter would be an interpretation or would have to be based on interpretations of other passages in the same or other songs
